A ranked Oklahoma team came to Ames for a Thursday night game, and the Cyclones couldn’t recreate a little OSU magic.
The Iowa State Cyclones haven’t beaten the Oklahoma Sooners since 1990, a streak that ultimately continued Thursday night.
The start of the game was all Sooners. Baker Mayfield led Oklahoma on an 8 play, 64 yard drive resulting in a touchdown pass to a well covered Mark Andrews. This play would be somewhat a theme for the better part of the first half - Cyclone defenders in the right position, but not making the play.
After an Iowa State punt, defensive coordinator Jon Heacock brought Jamaal Wiltz on a corner blitz.
